One of the most important elements, above the graphics card, is the processor heat sink, because it is the component that generates the most heat in the computer and if it does not have enough cooling capacitythe PC stops working to avoid damage the processor.
If we are not satisfied with a simple fan to dissipate the heat from the processor, we can opt for one of the most complete heat sinks available on the market, heat sinks that have a considerable size and height that do not make them suitable for all computers.
In addition, some models are so wide that they prevent access to the RAM memory modules, so if we want to replace or expand it, we must remove the heat sink, a task that we can take advantage of to replace the thermal paste, if a It’s been a long time since we replaced it.
Thermalright has the solution to this problem with the new Royal Knight 120SE heat sink, a heat sink designed to provide the highest level of cooling possible without being above the memory locationssockets that, on most motherboards, are practically attached to the space reserved for the processor.
Royal Knight 120SE Thermalright Heat Sink
This heat sink is designed with a slight tilt so that when installed it does not rest on top of the memory modules
This heat sink measures 122 x 114 x 155 mm and has a nickel-plated copper base from which emerge 6 copper tubes 6 mm thick to transport the heat to the two fins that compose them.
He fan This new heat sink includes a Thermalright TL-C12015B with 15mm thickness and 120mm. It features a 2nd generation fluid dynamic bearing that can rotate at a maximum speed of 1,8000 RPM to provide a maximum airflow of 59 CFM at a static pressure of 1.24mm and generating 26.1 dBa.
The second fan is designed to be integrated between the two fins and is the model TL-C12B V2a 120mm 25mm fan also featuring a fluid dynamic bearing capable of spinning up to 1,500 RPM delivering an airflow of 66.17 CFM at a static pressure of 1.53 mm with a maximum noise of 25.6 dBa.
Pricing and Availability
Neither of the two fans we can find inside this new heat sink include support for lightninguse the standard 4-pin power system and are compatible with AM5 and AM4 sockets on AMD boards and LGA1851 and LG1700 on Intel processor compatible boards.
For now, Thermalright has limited itself to announcing this new product, without revealing its price and market availability.
